Dressed as a top-notch girl, leading the whole village to become rich
Chapter 68 Ye Cheng Saves People
I saw that outside the post station, a small shed had been set up at some point, and inside, lined up were patients with pale faces and thin bodies, some of whom were carried here.
The Taoist priest was still wearing the same tattered clothes he wore when they first met, and a pair of straw sandals on his feet. Then, under Ye Guo's incredulous gaze, he sat cross-legged behind the wooden table and stretched out his hand to start seeing patients.
"Second brother, Taoist priest, can you also treat illnesses?" The carriage gradually went away, but Ye Guo was still looking at the road they came from.
The careful Ye Laoer got on the carriage early because of his health, so he watched the postmasters build the simple shed for the patients to queue up.
"A true Taoist priest is a master of martial arts, feng shui, and medicine. It's not surprising that he can treat illnesses, but it's quite strange that he can provide medicinal materials at such a young age."
Ye Guo: I said he was very rich.
The carriage did not stop along the way. Ye Guo and his companions ate dry food on the road. In the later stage, they felt carsick and could not concentrate on reading, so they had to sleep.
But because of the bumpy ride, she couldn't sleep well. In a daze, Ye Guo dreamed of the modern times she was familiar with, and became a chosen worker.
"Uncle, aunt, Lingnan Prefecture is ready. Uncle Sun has just sent the household registration over for inspection."
"Do you need to check the car?" Ye Lao Er asked. Generally speaking, it was just a gesture. If you check it carefully, it means that Lingnan Prefecture has been in turmoil recently and you should be more careful.
"It seems that there is no need to check. The front car of the convoy has already started to pass the city gate. Second uncle, aunt, Xiaowan, please sit down. I am about to start too." Ye Ben had retracted his neck, which had been stretched out, and the whip in his hand was whirring.
When you step into the territory of Lingnan Prefecture, the first thing that catches your eye is the towering city walls and majestic city gates. On top of the city walls, flags are fluttering and the city is heavily guarded.
Passing through the city gate, you will see a bustling market with all kinds of vendors standing along the street and the sounds of hawking being heard one after another.
Vendors sell colorful silks, ceramics and all kinds of accessories, and the fragrant restaurants attract passers-by to stop and taste.
On both sides of the street, houses with blue bricks and gray tiles are arranged in an orderly manner, and occasionally flying eaves and brackets and exquisite gardens can be seen deep in the courtyard.
There was a constant stream of pedestrians, including wealthy people dressed in silk and satin, common people in coarse clothes and cloth shoes, and foreign businessmen in exotic costumes, all of whose faces were filled with an air of peace and prosperity.
In the distance, you can see landmark buildings such as the Confucian Temple and the Imperial Academy, which demonstrate the importance Lingnan Prefecture places on cultural education.
Students gathered under the trees to discuss academic matters or practiced martial arts in the courtyard, creating a harmonious scene.
Occasionally, a melodious sound of guqin floats out from a corner, making people feel the profound cultural heritage of this city.
This vibrant and diverse place is enough to prove the economic prosperity of Lingnan Prefecture, and naturally reminds Ye Guo of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival".
As the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, Bianliang had a prosperous economy, flourishing culture, and highly developed commerce and handicrafts.
It is probably the same in Daqing, but because she was in Yejia Village before, she feels that Daqing is not very developed.
There was a constant stream of people on the road, of all identities, from merchants, scholars to beggars, monks, all walks of life.
"Second brother, it's so prosperous! It's like two completely different worlds compared to Yejia Village." Ye Guo couldn't help but sigh.
This was also Ye Laoer’s first time to visit Lingnan Prefecture. Compared with Yongzhou Prefecture, the level of prosperity was obviously not on the same level.
"No wonder there are always so many people who want to go to a bigger and better place. Lingnan Prefecture is so shocking. I wonder if I will have the opportunity to see the real imperial city someday." In fact, Ye Laoer has always wanted Ye Guo to put food first. Now that he has really arrived in Lingnan, he realized that he was really looking at the world from a well.
Especially when their carriage passed by some shops facing the street, where rice and white flour were piled like mountains in cloth bags.
Most of the people who went to buy took away whole bags, which made Ye Cheng, who was driving, jealous.
Sun Qian's house was located in a somewhat remote area. It was a two-entry courtyard that could only accommodate one carriage.
The Ye family had never lived in such a nice courtyard before, but they did not look around, but followed the housekeeper to the residence.
Uncle Chen is in his forties. He introduced himself as a native local. He used to be an accountant and a broker. Later, because of his age, he became the manager of Boss Sun's yard.
After Ye Cheng put down his things, at the reminder of his second uncle, he went to ask Uncle Chen for directions to go to the silver shop to exchange money.
The exchange of silver and money went smoothly. He did not exchange all of his money, but only exchanged 100 taels. He did not ask for silver notes, but for silver ingots and small change. He did not ask for any copper coins.
After leaving the silver shop, Ye Cheng went into the clothing store next door and picked out a set of clothes for himself and his second uncle. He told his aunt and the others to choose their own clothes tomorrow.
When he came out of the shop, I saw a handsome young man with dark skin. If he had been carrying a school bag, he would have looked no different from other students on the street.
The main reason was that my second uncle had reminded me before I went out that when I am out, I should not show my wealth and should always be on guard against others.
After walking along the main road, he walked along the narrow alley, preparing to return to his residence. Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a figure lying on the ground.
When he got closer, Ye Cheng found that it was a little girl in a yellow satin long-sleeved dress. Her face was pale and her eyes were closed. It was obvious that she had been knocked unconscious.
A feeling of righteous indignation welled up in Ye Cheng's heart. He had heard on the road that Lingnan Prefecture was large and therefore there were many kidnappers. He had not expected that he was so lucky as to encounter one as soon as he went out.
Fortunately, the little girl's clothes were neatly arranged, so she probably hadn't encountered any misfortune.
He looked around, quickly squatted down, checked the girl's breathing and pulse, and confirmed that she was still alive.
Ye Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and decided to rescue the person first.
He carefully lifted the girl up, put her on his back, and ran away. He had no idea that after he left, a man and a woman came out and found that she was missing. They were so scared that they didn't dare to go home.
Ye Cheng knew that he absolutely could not bring the person back as this would bring unnecessary trouble to his family, so sending him to the clinic was the best option.
As soon as he crossed the alley, Ye Cheng saw the door of a clinic. He put the person down first, then knocked on the door, and then hid himself.
Fortunately, the doctor in the clinic happened to be there. When he saw the unconscious girl and didn't see the person who was sent there, he remembered the rumors he had heard recently, so he called for people to help and asked someone to notify the government to come over.
Ye Cheng had been waiting in the dark, and when he saw the officials coming to his door, he left with peace of mind, and therefore left his wife and servants who came to look for someone.
When Ye Cheng returned home, he had a worried look on his face. He didn't know how to explain what had just happened. He didn't dare to hide it from his family.
